Introduction
Conclusions from the Workshop
Agenda of the Workshop

Topic 1: Approaches to the development of methods for the determination of
maximised regional values

Evaluation of notable, extreme and probable maximum areal values of precipitation depth
and precipitation supply in large river basins (G. Malitz)
Spatial and temporal patterns of precipitation fields of extreme events in Switzerland and
concepts for precipitation scenarios (D. Grebner)

Topic 4: Temporal trends of precipitation series, especially with regard to
extreme behaviour and spatial development

Observed long-term precipitation trends in Central Europe and some preliminary remarks
on change in extremes (C.-D. Schönwiese)
Evidence of a climate-induced change in maximum streamflow of the Alzette river
(Grand-Duchy of Luxembourg) (L. Pfister, L. Hoffmann)

Topic 5: Application of procedures for the determination of extreme precipitation
events for questions concerning hydrology and water resources
management

Application of a Water Balance Model for Calculating the Impact of Extreme Rainfall
Events (K.-G. Richter, M. Ebel, K. Ludwig)
The Development of A Stochastic Rainfall Model for UK Flood Modelling
(H.J.E. Rodda)
